Photoelectric measurements of self-assembled and supported planar lipid bilayers: a new technique for studying apoptosis

A new method based on photoelectrochemistry for analyzing apoptosis of bilayer lipid membranes (s-BLMs) containing MCF-7 nuclei is reported. The s-BLM cell responded to white light (200–800 nm). During the apoptosis induced by Taxol, the photoelectric current of the cell decreased, suggesting degradation of the nuclear DNA. Electron transfer along the DNA double helix and along the nuclear skeleton is assumed in the interpretation. This novel photoelectric analytical method may provide a rapid and sensitive technique to evaluate apoptosis.     

Photoelectric measurements of s-BLM/nucleoli: a new technique for studying apoptosis

A new method based on photoelectric measurement for analyzing apoptosis of cell-free MCF-7 nucleoli is reported. Supported bilayer lipid membrane (s-BLM) was used to enclose nucleoli in biological environment. The s-BLM was self-assembled on the wall of a super-thin cell. During the apoptosis induced by Taxol, the photoelectric current of the self-assembled s-BLM/nucleoli was found decreasing with time, suggesting the degradation of nucleus DNA. Electron transfer along the DNA double helix and along nuclear skeleton is assumed in the interpretation. This novel photoelectric analytical method may provide a rapid and sensitive technique to evaluate apoptosis.     

(Benzyl isocyanide)gold(I) pyrimidine‐2‐thiolate complex: Synthesis and biological activity

The reaction of [(Me₂S)AuCl] with an equimolar amount of benzyl isocyanide (PhCH₂NC) ligand led to the formation of complex [(PhCH₂NC)AuCl] ( 1 ). The solid‐state structure of 1 was determined using the X‐ray diffraction method. Through a salt metathesis reaction, the chloride ligand in 1 was replaced by pyrimidine‐2‐thiolate (SpyN^?) to afford the complex [(PhCH₂NC)Au(η¹‐S‐Spy)] ( 2 ), which was characterized spectroscopically. The cytotoxic activities of 1 and 2 were evaluated against three human cancer cell lines: ovarian carcinoma (SKOV3), lung carcinoma (A549) and breast carcinoma (MCF‐7). Complex 2 showed higher cytotoxicity than cisplatin against SKOV3 and MCF‐7 cancer cell lines. It showed a strong anti‐proliferative activity with IC₅₀ of 7.80, 6.26 and 6.14 μM, compared with that measured for cisplatin which was 7.62, 12.36 and 11.47 μM, against A549, SKOV3 and MCF‐7 cell lines, respectively. The induction of cellular apoptosis by 2 was also studied on MCF‐7 cell line. Our results indicated that 2 could induce apoptosis in cancerous cells in a dose‐dependent manner.     

Resveratrol-induced cell inhibition of growth and apoptosis in MCF7 human breast cancer cells are associated with modulation of phosphorylated akt and caspase-9

Resveratrol (trans-3,4N,-5-trihydroxystilbene), a phytoalexin present in grapes and red wine, is emerging as a natural compound with potential anticancer properties. Here we show that resveratrol affects the growth of human breast cancer cell lines MCF7, MDA-MB-231, SK-BR-3, and Bcap-37 in a dose-dependent manner and that MCF7 is the most sensitive among the four cell lines. MCF7 cells treated with resveratrol showed typical characteristics of apoptosis including the poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage, TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling-positive staining, and morphologic changes. Phosphorylation of the oncogene product Akt was significantly reduced followed by decreased phosphorylation and increased processing of pro-caspase-9 on resveratrol treatment. These results indicate that resveratrol seems to exert its growth-inhibitory/apoptotic effect on the breast cancer cell line MCF7 via the Akt-caspase-9 pathway.     

Anti-breast cancer triterpenoid saponins from the thorns of Gleditsia sinensis

One new triterpenoid saponin (1), as well as six known ones (2–7), were isolated from the ethanol extract of the thorns of Gleditsia sinensis. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis in conjunction with chemical evidence. Cytotoxic activity of compounds 1–6 was evaluated against human breast cancer MCF 7 cells in vitro by the MTT method. Our results revealed moderate activities for compounds 1–6 with IC₅₀ values of 18.43, 30.47, 18.46, 10.02, 30.76, and 17.32 μM, respectively. Furthermore, compounds 1, 3, 4, and 6 induced apoptosis in MCF 7 cell, with 1 and 6 causing late apoptosis of MCF 7 cells, while 3 and 4 acting oppositely.     

1H NMR‐Guided Isolation of Formyl‐Phloroglucinol Meroterpenoids from the Leaves of Eucalyptus robusta

Nine formyl‐phloroglucinolmeroterpenoids (FPMs), namely, eucalrobusones A–I ( 1 – 9 ), were isolated from the leaves of Eucalyptus robusta by tracking the phenolic hydroxyl ¹H NMR peaks. The Snatzke helicity rules for the Cotton effects of twisted benzene rings were applied to elucidate the absolute configurations of the FPMs. These findings, along with NMR spectroscopy, the circular dichroism (CD) exciton chirality method, and CD calculations, allowed complete structures for the FPMs to be assigned. Eucalrobusones A–F ( 1 – 6 ) are novel adducts formed between a formyl‐derived carbon atom on the phloroglucinol ring and monoterpene and sesquiterpene components. Eucalrobusones G–I ( 7 – 9 ) are the first examples of FPMs with cubebane part structures connected by an unusual 1‐oxaspiro[5.5]undecane subunit. Among these isolates, eucalrobusone C ( 3 ) showed significant cytotoxicity against HepG2, MCF‐7, and U2OS cancer cell lines, with IC₅₀ values less than 10 μm . Compound 3 significantly blocks cell proliferation in MCF‐7 cells and induces MCF‐7 cell death through apoptosis.     

Antiproliferative,Cytotoxic, and Apoptotic Effects of New Benzimidazole Derivatives Bearing Hydrazone Moiety

In order to take the advantages of the anticancer properties of benzimidazoles and hydrazones, we synthesized new 4‐(5‐chloro‐1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl)‐benzoic acid benzylidene hydrazide derivatives ( 3a–3t ) and evaluated their anticancer activity against A549 (human lung adenocarcinoma) and MCF‐7 (human breast adenocarcinoma) cells. The structures of the compounds ( 3a–3t ) were confirmed by IR, ¹H‐NMR, ¹³C‐NMR, mass spectroscopy, and elemental analyses. Antiproliferative activities of the compounds were evaluated using MTT assay, BrdU method, and flow cytometric analysis. In addition, with purpose of determining selectivity the cytotoxic activities of the final compounds were screened against healthy NIH3T3 cell line (mouse vembryonic fibroblast cells). Among the tested compounds 3e and 3f showed significant cytotoxic activity against A549 and MCF‐7 cancer cells with an IC₅₀ value of 0.0316 μM. Furthermore, compound 3p showed remarkable cytotoxic activity against MCF‐7 comparing with standard drug cisplatin. Annexin V‐FITC assay also suggested that this compounds induced cell death by apoptosis.     

Biomechanical analysis of cancerous and normal cells based on bulge generation in a microfluidic device

This paper presents a new biomechanical analysis method for discrimination between cancerous and normal cells through compression by poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) membrane deflection in a microfluidic device. When a cell is compressed, cellular membrane will expand and then small bulges will appear on the peripheral cell membrane beyond the allowable strain. It is well known that the amount of F-actin in cancer cells is less than that of normal cells and bulges occur at the sites where cytoskeleton becomes detached from the membrane bilayer. Accordingly, we have demonstrated the difference of the bulge generation between breast cancer cells (MCF7) and normal cells (MCF10A). After excessive deformation, the bulges generated in MCF7 cells were not evenly distributed on the cell periphery. Contrary to this, the bulges of MCF10A cells showed an even distribution. In addition, the morphologies of bulges of MCF7 and MCF10A cells looked swollen protrusion and tubular protrusion, respectively. Peripheral strains at the moment of the bulge generation were also 72% in MCF7 and 46% in MCF10A. The results show that the bulge generation can be correlated with the cytoskeleton quantity inside the cell, providing the first step of a new biomechanical approach.     

Selenadiazole Derivatives Inhibit Angiogenesis‐Mediated Human Breast Tumor Growth by Suppressing the VEGFR2‐Mediated ERK and AKT Signaling Pathways

Selenadiazole derivatives (SeDs) have been found to show promise in chemo‐/radiotherapy applications by activating various downstream signaling pathways. However, the functional role of SeDs on angiogenesis, which is pivotal for tumor progression and metastasis, has not yet been elucidated. In the present study, we have examined the antiangiogenic activities of SeDs and elucidated their underlying mechanisms. The results showed that the as‐synthesized SeDs not only enhanced their anticancer activities against several human cancer cells but also showed more potent inhibition on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The in vitro results suggested that SeDs, especially 1 a , dose‐dependently inhibited the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)‐induced cell migration, invasion, and capillary‐like structure formation of HUVECs. Compound 1 a also significantly suppressed VEGF‐induced angiogenesis in a Matrigel plug assay as part of a C57/BL6 mice assay by means of down regulation of VEGF. Furthermore, we found that 1 a significantly inhibited MCF‐7 human breast tumor growth in nude mice without severe systematic cytotoxicity. Compound 1 a was more effective in inhibiting cell proliferation and induced a much more pronounced apoptosis effect in endothelial cells than MCF‐7 cells, which implies that endothelial cells might be the primary target of 1 a . Further mechanistic studies on tumor growth inhibition effects and neovessel formation suppression demonstrated that 1 a inhibited cell viability of MCF‐7 and HUVECs by induction of cell apoptosis, accompanied by poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose)polymerase (PARP) cleavage and caspase activation. Additionally, the 1 a ‐induced antiangiogenesis effect was achieved by abolishing the VEGF‐VEGFR2‐ERK/AKT (ERK=extracellular signal–regulated kinases; AKT=protein kinease B) signal axis and enhanced the apoptosis effect by triggering reactive oxygen species (ROS)‐mediated DNA damage. Taken together, these results clearly demonstrate the antiangiogenic potency of SeDs and the underlying molecular mechanisms.     

A Glutathione Activatable Ion Channel Induces Apoptosis in Cancer Cells by Depleting Intracellular Glutathione Levels

Cancer cells use elevated glutathione (GSH) levels as an inner line of defense to evade apoptosis and develop drug resistance. In this study, we describe a novel 2,4‐nitrobenzenesulfonyl (DNS) protected 2‐hydroxyisophthalamide system that exploits GSH for its activation into free 2‐hydroxyisophthalamide forming supramolecular M⁺/Cl^? channels. Better permeation of the DNS protected compound into MCF‐7 cells compared to the free 2‐hydroxyisophthalamide and GSH‐activatable ion transport resulted in higher cytotoxicity, which was associated with increased oxidative stress that further reduced the intracellular GSH levels and altered mitochondrial membrane permeability leading to the induction of the intrinsic apoptosis pathway. The GSH‐activatable transport‐mediated cell death was further validated in rat insulinoma cells (INS‐1E); wherein the intracellular GSH levels showed a direct correlation to the resulting cytotoxicity. Lastly, the active compound was found to restrict the growth and proliferation of 3D spheroids of MCF‐7 cells with efficiency similar to that of the anticancer drug doxorubicin.
